The words agriculture, animals, production, and industry all evoke controversial and emotional responses, especially when used in conjunction with one another. The agriculture industry, including animal production, faces daily controversy while striving to provide the products which the public demands.
It is these controversial topics that affect the perception of agriculture and animal production. If the industry does not address the practices and management techniques it uses with sound and critical thought, and actions, than these perceptions will never change. With an increasing number of people demanding that their agricultural products are "natural" and that animal production is as humane as possible, now more than ever is an appropriate time for those involved in agricultural to step up and shed light on the industry.
It is time to thoroughly evaluate the contemporary issues in animal science, and for those involved in the industry to share their insight and opinions with the public.
